Desperate

I sent a message
An SOS in a bottle
It sank in quicksand
At the shore

I don't know
How else to get word across
I am at a loss
Sinking in deep water
Itself getting hotter
Heated by emotion
By commotion
Of a novice
Know this

My message is desperate
Desperate, desperate
The message 'I love you'
'Do you love me too? '
